On which male body part does a tattoo look the least trashy?

Ugh, no OP

A tattoo looks least trashy anywhere it can be covered up if necessary.

On the face. Definitely the face.

Inside wrist

The spleen.

I would say chest or arm, as long as it's not extremely busy or large. Or cartoon characters, names of people besides your kids. Although people I know with their kids' names tattooed on them, invariably have kids that grow up to be in and out of prison, or shitty to their parents, so I wouldn't commit to that either.

No ex -ex -exes, with the names crossed out or tattooed over please. They have bedposts for that. Something simple and graphic.

Guys in the Navy used to have anchors on their forearms, that's probably too plain now but I always thought it was sexy. It implied something without an HD closeup picture of what it's implying, if you know what I mean. "I've been around, and had adventures, long before you came along."

Definitely on the shoulder, as long as it's not a tribal tattoo.

Tramp Stamp

The taint.

Tattoos are trashy no matter where they are.

Inside of the arm

Dickhead!

Deltoid, if you have big ones

Op the calves are one of the worst places! Somewhere on the upper body where it can be covered as necessary.

Back, chest

Shoulder is the best

Face/neck the least

Upper back

The biceps are the only acceptable place, although one over the heart (if it's for your Mom) is acceptable. If it's on the face or neck, g'bye.

IMO anywhere but a relatively small tat on the upper shoulder(s) is trashy. Anything on the arms below the elbow (especially when it extends onto the top of the hands) is especially trashy. And then there's the horrendous neck tattoo. That just reeks druggie scumbag.

David Beckham is a prime example of a gorgeous man who becomes common white trash when he's not in a long sleeve dress shirt and long slacks.

Tattoos are trashy no matter where they are.

It's so refreshing to see a naked body without one. Very rare, nowadays.

This can't be repeated often enough.

It really depends on the person/location and how they carry themselves. I know someone with an awesome sleeve and it actually looks tasteful. It's just skulls and flames (no color) from his time in the Marines. Leg tattoos or names if your kid(s) over your saggy tits are horrendous, though.

When I see a model or even a porn star who does NOT have a tattoo, I say, THAT is being a real rebel in modern times.

on the dick

Least trashy, where it can only be seen in public at the gym or beach.

Opps, unless it is a tramp stamp, that is just naturally trashy

Shoulder, back, chest. Who doesn't like a tattoo on a tight body? Oh right, the ancient white sexless tasteful fags of DL. Get back to your Joan Crawford and Garland threads you flat ass loose hole hairy nipple lipitor whores. If you're toothless, you can still be useful in the dark.

"Hairy nipple"?

That's a new one. I had no idea hairy nipples were a form of degeneracy.

I don't mind a guy without tattoos, but I have a preference for them. I've always dated professional types and they usually have tattoos. There's nothing hotter than a fit and successful guy who is also into well done body art. I've never met an interesting or fun person that says "ew, a tattoo"...gotta be old, flabby, and/or naturally regressing into their homophobic father's midwestern values, as elder gays do.

A tattoo is trashy anywhere but we live in trashy times so what do you expect?

People like R28 for example calling gays who don't like tattoos homophobic.

But the when his mother gave birth to him in a gutter during a rainstorm what can one expect from such a person?

"ew, a tattoo...gotta be old, flabby..."

Lens Dunham has some nice tats. That's some quality, well thought out ink!

Anal tats are the worst.

R29, no gramps. Being anti tattoo in itself is not homophobic. It's just typical of the state of mind of old white gays who can't help but be boring and conformists in spite of their years being dug out by anonymous dick in bathhouses and parks across the country.

Elders _are_ of the tat generation now. 40s and even some 50s were in their teens and 20s when it first went alternative pop then full mainstream.

I resisted, but I didn't hate them. I thought only the very beautiful could pull them off, but those days are long gone. They are conventional now, not anything to be arrogant about when it comes to identity. It was almost 20 years ago when I saw my first Ann Taylor-wearing brand new baby corporate whore with a neck tat under her suit jacket at Trader Joe's.

The difference is, the quality of tattoos has gone up exponentially since then. It is also true that bad taste is also on display a lot more. I don't pay attention to those people. Quality ink is art, period.

The only tattoo I've really liked irl life was a surfer/contractor who got one on his arm to memorialize his young daughter who died of a tragic disease. The whole family got the same one even the kids.

It's really about the content for me.

When I was a kidlet I broke my foot and wore one of those old plaster casts. I drew all over it. It was like a beautiful tat leg sleeve. I also got very sick of it. One of the other reasons I never got tats. I knew in advance there was never anything I'd want permanently no matter how cool.

I resisted the temptation to get tatted. I was THIS close to getting a phoenix or eagle on my shoulder when I finally came out in '91 at the ripe old age of 27. I don't mind tasteful ink on a guy at all. I don't think one should go overboard and tat up their entire body though. If you're going to get a tat, do it right...lots of bold color for a vivid (but tasteful) display.

Not a tat fan

Nothing says "I am white trash" like a tat across the collarbone (usually a statement like "born free" or "hellproof") or over the navel.

Frat boy types use to get armbands on similar on their ankles.

Anything more than this is trashy IMO.

This on the other hand fairly reeks trash.

R39, I've seen worse. His first tattoo on the upper shoulder is OK, kinda of meh. I like the design. But some color would've spiced it up. The other tats are kinda ugly and looks like he got bored and got busy with an ink pen during lunch break.

At least they should be easy to remove if and when he chooses.

R38, that looks awful and dated. Your taste is not going to be the barometer here.

Jon Bon Jovi was, is and always will be a babe. It boils down to that. His arms were thin and his hair is girly and his tattoo is weak. No real man who is actively sexual rejects a hot guy because he has tattoos. The old freaks that go on and on about this on DL are have long passed their sexual lives. They just pick pick pick. Stats say that 30% of men today have tattoos. Some are hot men, some are not. Some have great tats, some have paint by numbers.

A beautiful body is a beautiful thing. Some don't think it should be disfigured. Lots of people view some tats and piercings as enhancement. Good ones are body art. Grow the fuck up. Most you old fags possess grown shut ear piercing holes. Gay Gay Gay booty pirates. The other hole closed up when?

I have several noticeable scars from my childhood, which is one of the reasons I personally never felt like altering my body any further, with tattoos or piercings. Every now and then, I see a really nice tattoo, and the reason they stand out for me is because most of the ones I see aren't aesthetically pleasing, or are just too random. Anyway, I love this guy.

Good work.

I love all the homophobic ageists on this thread.

Oh your old! Oh you're just acting like your homophobic father!

Just because you've permanently fucked up and stained your skin forever about which you can do absolutely nothing we should applaud?

It's reality show attention seeking garbage.

Why can't some us understand that there's preference, personal taste, style. Some like tattoos, some don't. Deciding to get a tattoo doesn't make someone trashy or sexy. It's about the person as a whole.

i know a man with his name tattooed on his sizable cock. i asked him if that was so he could find his cock in the midst of an orgy. he just smiled and shoved it further down my throat.

tattoos over a muscular arm look great but when that muscle truns to goo with old age, the tattoo looks like trash. I see that alot in my gym.

The tip of the wang.

I don't particularly like them when they're all over the place, but I can deal with them if the guy has a hot body. But a tattooed cock is a definite deal breaker. Just nasty.

You can't go wrong with "FUCK" and "ME" separately tattooed on each ass cheek. The epitome of good taste!

Yes, just wait until that fool has to go to the doctor or have surgery. The doctors and nurses are going to have a field day with him. He's clearly a stupid moron.

I imagine they're already seeing a lot of butt tatts.

People run out of space and I guess the face is the last place you're going to put one so why not the genitalia?

It really is a plague.

On the inside of your lip. No joke, some guy I used to work with had a tattoo there.

I also saw a woman who has a tattoo on her finger and that screams trashy.

medulla oblongata definitely yes

How do they tattoo the dick? Do you have the maintain an erection while it is being done?

Is everyone going to fall victim to this horrid trend? Just learned that a gorgeous guy I know is designing a half-sleeve tat for himself. Someone else said he wants to get a tat on his inner arm. Ugh. Shouldn't this fad have run its course by now?

Even the handsome Michael Dean Johnson is on his second tattoo -- written on his back to remind himself that we are all mortal and going to die. Not sure that most of us need the reminder (located in a place that we rarely see).

Forehead or neck

Tramp Stamp x 2

I'm seeing this as a tattoo, now.

Nothing trashy about this!

Link didn't work. Here:

Pure trash convention:

I was fattooed. By cupcakes.

On the appendix.

Tattoos are always trashy. No exceptions.

They can work on your body, wherever they are, or not... but, in the end, they are always trashy.

Always.

They “enhance” nothing. Ever.

On the neck, silly.

[quote] Tattoos are always trashy. No exceptions. . . . They “enhance” nothing. Ever.

This times 1,000.

The NUMBER of tats makes them trashy. Get a tat, just don’t get seven

The forearm. This isn’t so bad.
